Haninozuka Mansion
"Pancakes-Pancakes, Pancakes are so good!" Hunny cheered as he ate his pancakes completely with strawberries and whipped cream all over them. His brother Yasuchika sat across from him eating porridge and shaking his head in annoyance.
"Have you no self respect?" he asked.
"Now no Yasuchika, be nice to your brother," said the boys' mother, "Mitsukuni, I have a small favor to ask of you in regards to your little friend Haruhi Fujioka." Hunny stopped eating at that.
"What's that?" he asked.
"Oh nothing bad, I just want you to give this to her," said Mrs. Haninozuka. She handed her son a pink envelope with a gold trim, "It's an invitation to a tea ceremony I'm hosting this weekend. I would love to have her attend it as well."
"Who else would you be inviting to such a thing Momma?" asked Hunny.
"Oh just some of the usual women from our social circle which of course includes Shizue Suoh and," both Hunny and his brother notice their mother pause and get a somewhat angry look on her face, "Yuzuha Hitachiin if she's in town still at the time."
"Is something wrong between you and Mrs. Hitachiin Mother?" asked Yasuchika.
"That remains to be seen," replied his mother, "Now please finish your food and be on your way to school. Mitsukuni don't forget to give that invitation to Miss Fujioka now."
"Don't worry I won't," Hunny assured his mother.
"Why is Mother suddenly so obsess with that one friend of yours?" Yasuchika asked as the two brothers headed out.
"I'm not really sure but I have an idea or two," said Hunny.
Hitachiin Mansion
"Invitation for you Madam," said a maid walking up to Mrs. Hitachiin sitting at the breakfast table.
"What is it?" asked Yuzuha taking the invitation, "A tea ceremony at the Haninozuka Manor huh? Well I don't know if my schedule will allow it." Her maid lean down and whispered.
"I heard one of the delivery men that brought the invitation that Miss Fujioka is also being invited to this event."
"Haruhi may be attending huh?" said Yuzuha, "It would appear my schedule just opened for this weekend."
"But don't you have,"
"An important fashion show in Egypt?" her two sons asked.
"Oh it's not that important," said their mother. Both twins looked at each other.
"Wasn't this suppose to be the launch of your new Egypt Goddess line?" asked Hikaru.
"Yes but like I said, it's not that important," said Mrs. Hitachiin.
"You've been working on those clothes or a while though, like two years right?" asked Kaoru.
"It's not important!" their mother kept insisting, "Stop trying to guilt trip your mother like this! There is nothing you boys can do that'll make me miss this tea ceremony and get a chance to talk with Haruhi hopefully one on one!" And with that she stormed out of the room. Her sons both laughed.
"You can tell she wants to go to that show!" said Hikaru.
"It's just too bad she has to give it up to try and get close to Haruhi," said Kaoru.
"And we're going to make sure she's tormented every single minute of it!" they both said together. "Who had thought that trying to keep the parents away from Haruhi would be so much fun!" Both however soon stopped with their laughing.
"Do you think it might mean we don't get a chance to get close to Haruhi?" asked Hikaru.
"Let's not think like that," said Kaoru, "This game won't affect Haruhi and our relationship with her I'm sure."
Morinozuka Mansion
"I'm going to order some new containers for the food to replace the ones Mr. Fujioka took home," Mrs. Morinozuka made sure to tell her husband at the breakfast table the next morning, "I think it's only fair he be allowed to keep them."
"Of course my dear," her husband assured her.
"Takashi, if Haruhi tries giving any back to you, make sure you tell her it's not necessary alright? Tell her they are hers and her father's for the keeping," Mrs. Morinozuka made sure to tell her oldest son.
"Yes Mother," said Mori.
"Invitation for you Mother," said a butler walking into the room and handing it to her mistress.
"Oh it's to a tea ceremony from the Haninozukas for this weekend," said Mrs. Morinozuka looking it over, "I wonder what's making her want to hold one so suddenly."
"Takashi," said Mr. Morinozuka, "You haven't heard of anything about Mitsukuni being attracted to any particular girl have you?"
"I've had a feeling he's starting to find a bit of favor with Haruhi," Mori admitted. He noticed his parents exchanging glances.
"Mitsukuni has a crush on someone?" said Satoshi.
"Possibly," said Mori.
"Okay boys, that's enough about all this gossip," said their mother, "off to school." Both boys nodded and headed out.
"So it's possible that Mitsukuni has feelings towards Haruhi hmm?" said Mrs. Morinozuka once the boys were gone, "Could that complicate things?"
"If could, but at least the Haninozuka are good at playing fair even in manners such as this. Even before the master and servant relationship was abolished, they wouldn't stand in our way if one of our family members truly loved someone one of their family members might have felt something towards," her husband explained.
"Well that's good at least," said Mrs. Morinozuka.
Ohtori Mansion
Kyoya sat quietly and obediently at his breakfast dinging room table, doing his best not to say anything as his brothers and father also ate. However the utter quietness in the room was soon disrupted by the sound of his father clearing his throat.
"Kyoya, you know where Miss Fujioka lives correct?" he asked.
"Yes Father I am will aware where the young lady lives," said Kyoya.
"Do you ever think it would be polite to ever offer her a ride to school?" asked Yoshio.
"I never thought of it," said Kyoya, "I suppose I could though I don't know if she'd be inclined to take it."
"You'll never know if you don't try," said his father, "Now go and do your best to give her the ride."
"Uh yes Father," said Kyoya taking the hint to head to Haruhi's apartment and offer her a ride.
When he reached the door however he was surprised to see his sister Fuyumi coming in.
"Fuyumi, what are you doing here?" he asked. Fuyumi smiled and held up a pink invitation.
"I got an invitation to tea ceremony at the Hitachiin Estate," she said, "I came here to see if there was anything of my old tea sets I could bring myself."
"I don't know if that would be such a good idea," Kyoya advised.
"Oh and why not? You know what else I heard? I heard that your friend Haruhi Fujioka is also getting invited," said Fuyumi.
"Is that true?" their father asked suddenly appearing in the hallway behind them.
"Well I don't know for sure," said Fuyumi.
"Hmm, "Kyoya, you were off to offer Miss Fujioka a ride?" asked Yoshio.
"Oh yes Father, nice seeing you Fuyumi," said Kyoya finally leaving.
"Fuyumi, I need a favor of you," said Yoshio once Kyoya was done.
"Oh of course Father," said Fuyumi.
"I need you to find out for sure if Miss Fujioka really will be attending this tea ceremony and if she is, you must do your best to befriend her, for your brother's sake," Yoshio instructed.
"Why would if benefit Kyoya if I befriend her like that?" asked Fuyumi.
"It would help ensure Kyoya's future and his happiness that's all," said Fuyumi.
"Well than I suppose I have no choice really," said Fuyumi.
"No you don't, don't disappointed me now Fuyumi," her father advised.
Suoh Mansion
"So you're meeting with the man tonight?" Shizue asked her son.
"Yes Mother that is the plan," said Yuzuru.
"Good, the sooner we can secure a good bride for the boy the better. You should also advise the boy to offer the woman a ride to school today. It would be the polite thing to do after all," said Shizue.
"Of course Mother," said Yuzuru getting up and walking to the phone to call Suoh Mansion Number 2. His mother went back to her breakfast when a maid came into the room and offered her up an invitation. Shizue took and read it open.
"A tea ceremony at the Haninozuka Mansion hmm?" she said out loud.
"I heard one of the guests that's schedule to attend is that one woman your son told you about, Miss Haruhi Fujioka," said the maid.
"Really, she was invited?" said Shizue, "Well I suppose I should attend then. It would be nice to meet with this girl one on one and see what it is that makes my son thing she'll be a good match for the boy along with being a good member of our family."
"Good morning Father," said Tamaki happily, "You don't usually call me this early in the morning."
"I know but I wanted to call my son," said Yuzuru, "It's nice to hear your voice in the morning. Oh by the way son, I wanted to know. Are you treating that girl Haruhi Fujioka right?"
"What do you mean Father? I treat her like any good father would treat his daughter!" Tamaki insisted.
"Does that include making her walk to school each morning?" asked Yuzuru.
"Hmm?" said Tamaki.
"Surly a father that has the abilities wouldn't simply let his precious daughter simply walk to school each day right?" said Yuzuru.
"Oh you're right!" said Tamaki.
"Well then, you should go and give her that ride to school, immediately I think," said Yuzuru.
"Oh yes of course I can do that!" said Tamaki, "Good-bye Father I'm off!"
'That's my boy,' Yuzuru thought proudly before walking back to the table.
"Good news Mother, Tamaki's on his way now to offer Miss Fujioka a ride," he told his mother.
"Good," said Shizue, "The boy needs to do more to make sure he's taking a step towards securing his future wife. I already am going to be helping in that regards come this weekend."
"What's this weekend?" asked Yuzuru.
"Never you mind, just trust me that what I am doing is women's work and you should simply leave it to me, the woman of the house," said Shizue.
"Sure Mother," said Yuzuru, deciding to trust his mother on the matter.
Fujioka Apartment
Haruhi opened her refrigerator to see the different food containers her father brought home from the other day. The food in them still seemed fresh. It made her wonder if she should take some to school for lunch.
"Are you planning on taking any of this to school for lunch today dear?" asked Ranka coming up behind her.
"Kind of," Haruhi admitted.
"Well you should, it would be nice offer Mori his family food containers back," said Ranka.
"Oh yeah that's right. These are from Mori's family aren't they?" said Haruhi. She wondered if her other friends would feel mad at Mori for his family letting Haruhi and her father have these. Or worse they start wanting to give the two of them their own food in their own containers and have the two of them get overwhelmed with all of it.
"Well I'm off then Dad," said Haruhi as she headed out.
"Be careful now and have a nice day dear!" said Ranka waving to his little girl. He looked around at his apartment.
"Well I suppose it's only fair I start cleaning up for when my special guest arrives," he decided as he got to work.
Haruhi barley made it down the stairs when she saw something that made her stop in her tracks.
Two limos were pulling up in front of her apartment building.
"Now what are those damn rich people up to?" she asked. She soon got her answer when Tamaki sprung out of the back limo
"Haruhi!" he shouted, "Never fear! You father has come to give you a ride to school like a good father should!"
"Uh," said Haruhi, "That's not really…,"
"Necessary is it Haruhi?" said Kyoya getting out of the front limo, "You see I came here for the exact same reason and since I was here first I think it's only fair I give Haruhi the ride to school." Haruhi moaned.
'I would so much rather be going on the bus right about now!' she thought.
